Writer's Blog 2010-12-02

Happy December!

The countdown to Christmas has begun. I know I'm an adult now because that thought more produces fear rather than excitement! I used to count the days - not so any more. Now Christmas seems far too close. I still have university to think about.

Speaking of which the cold weather, we've had snow in this par of Wales, has caused problems at university. The servers have been down and hence printing has been a problem. The story is that the pipe bust and crapped out the server. They're predicting that it could be a couple of weeks before its all up and running again.

How quickly we come to rely on technology! Luckily the Atrium, the Cardiff site for the University of Glamorgan, was working - well sort of. Printing was possible - just, just not in the way it usually is. To be honest I don't completely understand the technical issues involved. Anyway the long and short of it is that I was able to print my timed assignment and hand it in - woo whoo!

It was nice though to see the comradery between the students. Information was posted on Facebook and we were able to discuss the situation. However there was little information to give out as we couldn't email our tutors!

I'll be back later in the well with a dictionary story.

Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don't read the lines. -Margaret Millar, novelist (1915-1994) Wordsmith.org
